The Atlanta Braves wasted no time answering a need during Sunday night’s first two rounds of the MLB Draft. With the 22nd overall selection, the Braves picked Tate Southisene, a shortstop out of Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada. With the 60th overall selection in the second round, Atlanta picked Florida State University shortstop Alex Lodise.
Southisene committed to play college baseball at the University of Southern California, but will more than likely sign a contract with the Braves.
